Boy, I know what you mean, we had a cold front come through here. It's freezing, it's going to be that way all week! Damn it!

Shut up!

 

[Diuretic]

I'd kill for a bit of snow

Like the other, shut up! It's summer in AU!

We have like a foot of snow on the ground, more falling, albeit lightly now. Temps dropping.

The roads? Well seems all the municipalities do not have the revenue projected. So instead of salt, they're using sand, as intersections only. Good for traction, when laid down, but with each car it gets buried. No melting going on, obviously. Sigh, life is trying, not hard, but trying.

 

[xsited1]

I don't miss snow. The only place I like it is on the ski slopes.

 

[Dis]

Nah. Minor flurries, and like an inch or so yesterday.. We're headed for a deep freeze this week, tho...

Not fair! I expect the weather I get hits you in spades!

 

[Dis]

Have no doubt it will..

Plenty on the ground to last us til it does again, tho.

 

[Dis]

And WTF are we doing in Global Topics? We're like...what..200 miles apart? Heh.

Going to be 41c Tuesday - as I said, I'd kill for some snow

This is how Europe looks like right now:

I can't wait for global warming to be a reality!

...MORE WINTER WEATHER ON THE WAY...

A FAST MOVING CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL TRACK ACROSS THE REGION MONDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT BRINGING MORE ACCUMULATING SNOW.
SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES
GENERALLY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80...TO 3 TO 4 INCHES ACROSS FAR
NORTHERN ILLINOIS ESPECIALLY CLOSER TO THE WISCONSIN STATE LINE.
IN ADDITION...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL STRENGTHEN TO 20 TO 30 MPH
MONDAY EVENING ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS SYSTEM WITH SOME GUSTS TO
35 TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE FROM LATE MONDAY EVENING THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS. THE COMBINATION OF THE FRESH SNOW AND WINDS OF
THIS STRENGTH WILL LIKELY LEAD TO WIDESPREAD BLOWING AND DRIFTING
SNOW AND SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES MONDAY NIGHT. THE
STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL ALSO USHER IN AN ARCTIC AIR
MASS...WITH WIND CHILLS DROPPING TO 15 TO 25 BELOW ZERO BY EARLY
TUESDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES WILL HAVE LITTLE RECOVERY DURING THE
DAY TUESDAY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE ARCTIC AIR MASS.

We're getting your crap on Monday, followed by highs of 6 on Tuesday.

Good thing I'm off on Monday.

We got a deep freeze last night too. Got down to 35.

 

[Dis]

We got a deep freeze last night too. Got down to 35.

Put a . between that 3 and 5, and you might have something to complain about. 35's still warm enough to melt some of this shit.

Cold is relative to what you are used to. I got used to that Midwestern weather when I lived in Kansas. Stay inside 6 months of the year. Twenty inches of snow on the ground.

You can have it. I'm a Southern boy and I like my sunshine and warm weather.

We've got like 8-10" today.

That's what she said.
